I read through the page you posted and I find something interesting. Many people here are debating over which MVB is best and the "need" for a solar meter, but nobody know how much UVB tegus/rhinos need. There was a section that said the minimum for a green iguana is 10Mw, so I think even a fairly old UVB bulb would provide this. Not saying we should keep our herps at the minimum amount of UVB, but it is possible the amount that the SolarGlo or PowerSun put out are the perfect amount and the MegaRay is too much. It is even possible that they all put out too much and we are wasting our money when all we "need" is a tube UVB.

These are just some thoughts I had after reading this page.

10Mw is supposed to be 10uW.
